La Bonne Franquette – Montmartre

admin — Sat, 24 Jul 2010 00:07:32 +0000

In our minds the restaurants of Montmartre enjoyed a fairly bad reputation deplorable service, products of poor quality for a good addition salt.Until the day we met Patrick Fracheboud, the owner, in the old Montmartre, the restaurant Good Franquette since 1979.It is a wine lover and good “food”. With his wife, he toured France in search of regional products.

It serves, for example, sardine pate de Vendée, duck confit from Sarlat, black pudding with Espelette peppers from the Basque country … His guilty pleasure is the wine! It offers a la carte no less than 150 vintage wines including the famous vineyards of Montmartre.

We were totally seduced by the perfect Charolais with foie gras and sorbet with strawberry-peppermint with Paul Mom. If you like sweet white wine, we recommend Jurançon 2007.The service was pleasant and attentive.

The curious can ask the history of this house 400 years old. In summer you will not hesitate to install the terrace in the shade and quiet!Bon appetit!Website: http://www.labonnefranquette.com/

Arne Quinze – Bridge Installation in Rouen France

admin — Tue, 06 Jul 2010 07:33:15 +0000

ROUEN, FRANCE – For the festival Rouen Impressionnée, the city of Rouen asked Arne Quinze to create an installation, Camille, on the Boieldieu bridge in the center of Rouen. This installation (metal, concrete, fluorescent paint and wood) is going to be 120 meters long, between 6 and 20 meters high and contains 45 kilometres of wood. Eighteen concrete foots carry the weight of the installation, which weights 110 ton in total. The model for Camille is exhibited in the Museum of Modern Art in Rouen.

“ When I visited Rouen and got to see the Boieldieu bridge for the first time, I immediately understood the bridge had to generate social interaction. My installations are all about bringing people back together and connecting them. This public art installation for the bridge over the Seine has the same aim. Inhabitants from the left side will meet inhabitants from the right side underneath the entangled wooden slats. The sculpture is created to evoke emotion and to spark conversation. “

The name Camille is a tribute to Camille Pissaro who painted the bridge several times. It is also a reference to Claude Monet’’s wife, Camille.

Arne Quinze also presents twenty-one new works based on the Water Lilies by Claude Monet painted in the backyard of his home in Giverny, in L’Abbatiale Saint-Ouen. The first time Arne Quinze laid his eyes on these paintings of Monet he was blown away by the theme, scale, use of colours and the light effects. Although Quinze still paints with his severe brush strikes and splatters, a certain serenity is visible in his new works.

The Coffee Shop and The Muse Merce

admin — Mon, 28 Jun 2010 23:29:59 +0000

A small miracle has to grow on the streets of Paris: a coffee shop, in the tradition of New York, with its traditional coffee machine, dishes and crunchy sweety, and behind the bar, a delicious american accent. Greenwich Village? No, the Marais.

Merce, the owner of this place U.S. light, only in the beautiful, good, and bio. In the bowls, colorful mix of beets, pistachio, watercress, granny, Japanese radish. Under a glass bell, the carrot cakes heart shaped. But on the most deliciously dangerous, is that of blueberries, fresh goat cheese and balsamic vinegar together in a clafoutis that will make you groan with pleasure.

You go in for a take away breakfast. But as there inevitably will cross a regular arty place, there will surely cause for show and decoration around a nutshell. And leave galvanized.

Marche – Alexandre Dumas – Paris

admin — Tue, 25 May 2010 07:07:44 +0000

Thursday and Saturday mornings see one of the very best Parisian markets at the exit of the metro Alexandre Dumas in Paris.

You will find many producers, including vegetables, fruit, bread, fish, honey … nothing to do with products that can be bought in supermarkets. You can also buy processed and prepared foods on the spot: Lebanese pancakes, sauerkraut, couscous, pasta, fresh Italian fruit juices, jams …

I liked the atmosphere of the market … but there are people too and traders take the time to serve you and you start a kind word.

For me the best products are at the beginning when the market reaches Metro Nation.

Address: Metro Line 2 – Alexandre Dumas
